Almost 5 years ago, Estelle & Magan met at a wedding — where M was the photographer and E was a bridesmaid for her best friend's big day. We talked about books for under five minutes, and a friendship was born.

Since then, we’ve shared our love of books, Zac Efron, and shopping on this blog, changed jobs, had babies, moved, visited DC and Disney World together, and constantly stayed connected -- despite the miles between us. RBR has been the our own version of a coffee date, our way to mark the time before we can hang out and gab in person again. Thanks for spending time with us. xoxo

Alexa @ Alexa Loves Books-I was that girl in high school too – the booklover, the one who was determined to make something of herself and found a way to do that through her grades. This book sounds pretty fun and I hope I get the chance to read it!

Tara-I was so that girl in high school too! I graduated with a class of 73 people and I knew I had to get good grades to be able to move on. I’m glad to hear the book picks up after the slow start and props to you for sticking it out!

Kate @ Musings-I love Sarah Strohmeyer! When I saw hat she came out with this book, I wanted to read it. I think I will still give it a try, and wish that my girls would read it, I am sure. Sad to hear that the first 130 pages were slow…not a great way to hook young ladies – but maybe the smart ones will stick with it and get a good lesson from it!

elena-Love the point you made about two types of YA books because that’s so true. I’m glad that even though this book had a rocky start, you ended up enjoying it by the end. Overall, it sounds like a cute story!
